"Say, where has the prince gone, why hasn't he come back yet?" The majestic voice with anger sounded in the Dali Palace, and as soon as the nearby eunuchs and palace maids heard this voice, their steps immediately became lighter, and their heads were lowered, and they hurried by in broken steps, for fear that the owner of the voice would find trouble on their heads.

The four brothers of Zhaocai Jinbao knelt on the top of the main hall, and were severely reprimanded by Emperor Baoding in anger, although they shouted in their hearts: "Where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, don't you know yet?" But the words can't be said yet, who asked Emperor Baoding to send people to Wuliang Mountain to find the people who still can't find Duan Xing Duan's prince.

The four brothers with sad faces can only keep their voices silent, and Emperor Baoding is angry, no wonder Emperor Baoding is angry, tomorrow is the Torch Festival, this festival celebration, sacrifice, burning incense, and worshipping Buddha are indispensable, and I was going to let Duan Xing officially show his face in front of the people of Dali, the hero is gone, can you not let Emperor Baoding get on fire. What's more, tomorrow I have to go to Tianlong Temple to worship the Buddha, if this is to let the host of Tianlong Temple, Master Ku Rong know that his personal disciple has disappeared, then there is a good thing with the Dali royal family, Emperor Baoding is now worried like an ant on a hot pot, but what is it, sent to find Duan Xing's various forbidden army flying pigeons, there is no news about Duan Xing, and the angry Emperor Baoding can't wait to give an order now, and he will cut down the four people who are lucky and enter the treasure. But taking into account his years of wisdom, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the anger into his stomach.

It is now three o'clock, and the sky is gradually turning white, but Emperor Baoding's mood has not changed for the better with the sky turning from dark to bright, on the contrary, it is even more irritable.

Emperor Baoding, who was furious, grabbed the inkstone in his hand and smashed it directly at the four people of Zhaocai Jinbao, regardless of the inkstone, Duan Jin's face was smashed open, and the blood fell on the hall, and said angrily: "The four of you will go out immediately to find the prince back, if you can't find it, you don't have to come back." ”

As soon as the words fell, the four of them got up, saluted, turned around and ran out of the hall, looking for the prince who did not know his whereabouts.

The angry Emperor Baoding continued to shout: "Someone!"

Immediately, a golden-armored warrior walked in from outside the hall and bowed his hand to obey the order.

"Spread my will, and ordered Gao Taiming to lead his three subordinates to go out along the east, west, and north directions of Dali City to find the prince to come back, and if he can't find it, the official will be demoted by one level. ”

The golden-armored warrior who had just entered the hall said a promise for a lifetime, and then withdrew from the hall to pass the order, leaving Emperor Baoding pacing back and forth in front of the hall.

At this time, Duan Hai, the old eunuch who had been waiting for Emperor Baoding, stepped forward and asked softly, "Bixia, do you need to cancel the sacrifice later?"

Emperor Baoding, who frowned, looked up at the old eunuch, took a deep breath and said: "No need to cancel, hold it as usual, go find a little eunuch for me, it should be about the same size as the prince, prepare to prepare, in case the prince is not there, temporarily pretend to be it." ”

"The old slave obeyed. ”

Hurriedly walked towards his governor's mansion, and made a few gestures around, and a few little eunuchs who had been waiting around the main hall immediately dispersed after seeing the gestures, and rushed in several directions at the same time.

As soon as Duan Haiduan's father-in-law stepped into his governor's mansion on the front foot, the most powerful father-in-law in Dali rushed to the governor's mansion one after another, including two fathers-in-law and three deputy fathers-in-law.

Manager Duan didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't have time to drink the tea, so as soon as he saw the people arrive, he said straight to the point: "Which father-in-law's little cub has an organic spirit, about 10 years old, it is best to be freshly clean, and his voice has not changed." ”

As soon as Manager Duan's somewhat sharp voice spoke, the other fathers-in-law thought about me looking at you and you looking at me. There are a few well-informed people who know that the little prince is not there, and they have already thought about whether they want to play a trick of Li Daitaozhuang. The little news is still figuring it out, what does the chief manager want to do, and the most taboo between the chief managers is to dig each other's corners, it stands to reason that the chief manager is a person who has come over, and he shouldn't know the Tao here.

Manager Duan saw that several people were bored and didn't speak, and even if he guessed the thoughts of a few people, he didn't break it, but continued to say in his duck-like voice: "A few fathers-in-law don't have to think about it, the matter of the little cub is very important, I can't talk about it in detail here, when the time comes, we will naturally see it, just find out if there is a suitable one under your hands, and then bring it to our family." ”

Said Ran glanced around at a few fathers-in-law, his eyes became stern, and his tone became a little heavier and continued: "In this matter, it is best for several fathers-in-law not to have other selfish intentions, otherwise something will happen to Zuihou, and when the time comes, don't blame our family for being ruthless and unsympathetic." Let's put the cruel words here first, if there is a problem, it is definitely not something that can be solved by a few fathers-in-law with a hat and an official government to take off, be careful that the head on your neck will also move. ”

Several fathers-in-law raised their heads and glanced at each other, and the deputy chief manager in charge of the procurement of items in the inner palace, Mr. Zhang, was the first to speak: "Manager Duan, it's not that I don't have to do things, a little eunuch, you say you want to, just find one for you, but do you leak a thing or two about this specific matter, so that I can also know a little, so that I can tell the people who do things below, otherwise it will not hurt everyone's feelings if I mess up the things you explained." ”

Being able to be responsible for the procurement of specific things in the inner palace is already an extremely important position for eunuchs, and further up is the current position of Chief Duan. Speaking of which, this manager Zhang has only been on the throne in the past two years, and he relies on the most favored concubine of Emperor Baoding to ascend the throne, which is very ruthless, and he looks like he is smiling with everyone on his face, and he is darker than the head of Duan, and all the eunuchs who oppose him are crippled except for death, or they are all expelled from the palace. Now, the little eunuchs don't know Manager Duan, but they can't help but know Manager Zhang, which is why several other deputy chief eunuchs don't dare to speak first, waiting for Manager Zhang to speak first.

The meaning of Mr. Zhang's words is very clear, surnamed Duan, if you want a little eunuch to run errands and serve, I'll get you one, no problem, if you want to do something, don't tell me, there is no door. This made Manager Duan, who had been staying in the position of the chief manager, feel uncomfortable, squinting and staring at Manager Zhang, on the other hand, Manager Zhang, after speaking, the old god was sitting on the chair and drinking tea. When the other chief eunuchs saw this jiashi, they immediately turned into shrunken turtles, and one by one they were either checking how many gaps there were in the ceiling, or they were looking to see if there were any ants passing by on the ground.

After all, Manager Duan has been mixed for a longer time, and it is impossible to do without a little means, and he didn't see Manager Duan say anything more, but suddenly the placket of his clothes swung along with his body, and an eagle claw skill was instantly displayed, directly taking Manager Zhang's throat, and the distance of a few steps was instantaneous. Manager Zhang even felt the strong wind blowing in his face, his body was numb in an instant, unable to move, people in that extreme fear, often feel that time passed very slowly, at that moment, Manager Zhang even had an illusion, thinking that time was still, he clearly saw the killing intent in Manager Duan's disdainful face, for the first time, Manager Zhang was afraid, since he was scared at that time, he never had a feeling of fear again. I still remember that he was just a little eunuch back then, without any backers, but two years ago due to fate, he climbed the high branch, how can he compare with the upper section of the general manager, he was given the imperial surname since he was a child, and he also learned a martial arts. Just a face, Manager Zhang's neck was in the hands of Manager Duan.

The other managers were stunned in an instant, just in the blink of an eye, how could the chief manager Duan do it, this is completely unreasonable.

Manager Duan didn't care what the other people thought, but said to Manager Zhang ruthlessly: "The surname is Zhang, our family has cultivated self-cultivation in the past few years, have you forgotten who knelt on the ground to shine our family's shoes, have you forgotten who is the final say in these ** eunuchs, have you forgotten that our family is the emperor's surname, do you need me to simply clean your head once, so that you can be sober?"

The tragic history of entering the palace in childhood instantly surged into Mr. Zhang's heart, the days of being whipped and reprimanded at every turn, the dark past that distorted his soul reappeared like a poisonous snake, and began to bite the scars that had gradually healed, Mr. Zhang's body began to tremble, and begged in a crying voice: "The big manager, the big manager, please, I have taken the life of the little one, the little one will not dare next time, what do you want, the small one will be given to you, my silver, a lot of jewelry, the small one will be brought to you, you... … Don't kill me!"

With a "pop" sound, Manager Duan's hand on Manager Zhang's throat was forced, and the other hand directly slapped Manager Zhang, and said angrily, "You little Wang Balamb, are you looking for death? There was another sound, and the backhand fanned over again, although he didn't use internal force, but Manager Duan has also practiced martial arts all his life, and the strength on hand is still very great, just two slaps down, Manager Zhang's face on both sides is swollen, red and red, and one of his teeth has been knocked out.

Several other chief eunuchs looked at this scene in horror, and immediately remembered that when Chief Duan was first promoted to the chief governor, as long as anyone disobeyed him, he would be directly tortured to death, and some were simply killed by Chief Duan himself. It's just that after all these years, as his status continues to rise, he is obsessed with power, and he gradually forgets the lessons of the past, and he also forgets the evil spirit of the chief manager.
